Qualifiers

This section describes the implementation-defined characteristics of qualifiers. It corresponds to section ``F.3.10 Qualifiers'' in the ANSI document.

Access to volatile objects

Any reference to or use of an object that has been qualified with the volatile type constitutes an access to that object unless the compiler is able to determine that the object cannot be volatile. All parts of a referenced object are assumed to be referenced if any part of the object is referenced.
